This is my last post for Pinspirational Challenges. It's hard to believe I've already been on the team for six months! It's been a lot of fun, but I think it's time to focus on some other projects for a while. On with the challenge...

This is a very sweet picture, and it would have been fun to do something with fairy wings but I'm not sure I'm up to that challenge. I'm not quite sure how to capture the iridescence. If any of you fellow crafters have tips you'd like to share, I'd love to hear! Our sponsors this week are:

I had to go with springy colors inspired by the picture on this one, so I started off with a blue base for the skirt, adding rows of lace and a stitched hem along the bottom. I chose a floral print for the top from a 6x6 pad from Authentique's Seasons Essentials.(I love that these smaller pads are scaled to a more appropriate size for cards and small projects. I think I've been buying more of those lately than the larger 12x12 sheets.) I used a Martha Stewart punch- Eyelet Lace (or part of it) for the lace details around the neckline and sleeves. Then I added a bit of ribbon, pearls and a bow around the waist, and some pink pearls to the lace. I changed the style of the hat a bit by widening the brim. Then I added a pearl necklace with Perfect Pearls.I had so much fun with this one that I put together another one...

I love how the lace on the hat turned out on this one.Then I did another...

Using Eureka's Just a Note and Heart Eighth Notes. Clean and simple is not usually my thing. I started out with the banner I created with both digis-then decided to add just a couple of random sequins-I've never gotten into the sequin trend but thought they would work well on here. I threaded a bead through the center of each just for a bit of contrast.

Just for comparison I thought I'd post my first attempt. I decided I didn't like all the white and I think maybe the scored background made it too busy. What do you think?
